 I agree that the problem is caused by two versions of perl. But that it
 arises when installing gimp, is caused by the fact that gimp is
 (indirectly) dependent on two different versions of a single component and
 in my opinion that should not be the case. Unfortunately I am not yet good
 enough to see at what level in the dependency hierarchy of gimp the
 problem is caused, but the problem can not be solved by a perl maintainer.
 That person can never make a client module that is dependent on two
 versions of perl be dependent on only one version of pearl.

 Is there an easy way to see the complete dependency tree of gimp?
